At night the importance of State work,
and the necessity of employing a State
secretary to canvass the State was pre-
seated by Mr.. Williams. He said at least
5000 was necessary for this work in this
State for the ensuing year. And this
amount was readily raised. Mr.. 4. c.
Jones, OF Newberry, gave several striking
reasons why it pays to have d building.
1t was decided that billiard and smoking
rooms should not be connected with an
association. and that the association
should not engage in temperance nor
evangelistic work as an association. The
business part of the State Convention
was finished on Saturday night.

ing for boys in the Baptist church, and
Mr.. N. B. Williams a meeting for men

house was filed with men and the meet
ing was very interesting. Mr.. Williams is
a good talker and seems never to tire.
At night the services were again held
in the opera house, and conducted by Mr..
Williams, and summary of the work
was given by the different members OF
the Convention. Mr.. Williams then spoke
of the necessity of. keeping up the enthu-
siasm which seemed now to have taken
hold of the Convention, and spoke of the
necessity of a building for the association
and then proceeded to- raise funds for a
building for the Newberry Association
and before the meeting closed more than
$500 were pledged for this purpose. DR.
Jas. Mcintosh led the list with 5000, Mr.
Geo. S. Mower also gave 5000. Some
then gave 800, some $50, $25, s15, $1C
and $, until the sum reached the
amount above. Mr.. Williams understands
the art of raising money.
We are glad the association held its con-
vention in Newberry. We believe ithas
resulted in good to Ncwberry that will
be permanent in its effects: Weare glad tc
have met so many young men engaged il
so noble and grand work as trying to
save young men. The presence OF these
young men here will give new life ant
vim to the association organized in New
berry so recently. And when the New
berry association gets its building, which
seems now assured, the organization vii
take on permanent shape and be OF in
calculable benefit to our young men, who
are the hope of our country.
